Removed screws and put new bottom gasket in old one just fell out.

First I removed the bottom dish rack to gain access to the spray arm. I proceeded by pulling straight up on the bottom spray arm, it disconnected with gentle force. The replacement part was not identical, so I determined that it would work by inspecting hole patterns and heat shield configuration. Then I gently pushed the new spray arm onto the water supply tube making sure that the spray arm snapped into place. Due to extremely fast ground shipping (less than 20hrs from order to my door) the repair was done within 24 hrs! Boy...was my wife pleased!

took the door off after several failed attempts, which is easy to do - 2 scews. Then it was easier to find the channel the gasket fits into.

For all Frigidaire diswasher owners, after taking the door off, I realized it was the seal around the soap dispenser that was leaking, due to stripped screws, not the gasket. I rigged it with silicone caulk, but may have to replace that - looks easy, .

First I removed the six Phillips head screws that hold the control panel on. Next I removed the two Phillips screws holding the door latch in place. Then attached the new latch and reversed the procedure. Best part was the prompt delivery of the new part. My wife had herself convinced she would be without her dishwasher for several days.

I foloowed the others who repared the same item. I really appreciated their help and input. The only thing I would add is when they said that you only have to remove the bottom 2 screws on the inside of the dishwasher door they are absolutely correct. But don't look on the very bottom of the door like I did. They are on the inside of the door, facing inside. The bottom screw on each side. Thanks for all the help.

The pump was progressively getting noisier over time to the point we could hear it in the back of the house. The dishes were always clean though. Turned off breaker. Removed two screws attaching unit to cabinet. Pulled out unit as far as I could and disconnected power. Turned unit slightly so I could reach water connection and disconnected it. Disconnected flexible drain hose, then could pull unit completely out of cabinet. Turned on it's side so I could access the motor. Removed two screws, steel retaining clip, then motor. Came with 2 new O rings which I lubricated and replaced. Reinstalled everything and problem solved, nice and quiet. One hour 15 minutes total.

The nut was split down one side, so I first tried to sauder the nut back together. Saudering never goes well for me anyway, but I couldn't get a good enough seal around the nut to make it fit tightly. Then I had to cut off the clear plastic shield to get down in there, just before realizing you could just pull the white wire firmly and it would come loose from the nut. All I had to do then was unscrew the original nut, and screw on the new nut. Then, luckily I had mistakenly ordered an extra clear plastic shield and could replace the one I had previously cut. Dishwasher now runs like a charm!

This was too easy. I pulled out the bottom rack, spread apart the two clips which are at the bottom of the spray arm with my fingers and pulled out the old broken spray arm. The damage was visible. Then I took the new spray arm ( which looked different but still fit nicely) and gently pushed it into place. Done!

It is rather easy to repair. After you remove the screws that secure the top of the dishwasher to the countertop you can slide the disherwasher out far enough to gain access to the hose. The hose pulls off after you slide the spring clips down the hose far enough so they no longer grab. Then simply reverse the order and you're done. Less than 30 minutes and you should no longer have to hand wash your dishes!

I went to your website found part# and parts diagram and ordered parts . I picked standard shipping . That evening e-mailed me they were instock and shipped also gave tracking # thet parts were here the next day.I removed the front dec panel then the 4 nut& bolts holding door to hinges(with door in closed position).Then I removed the 2 screws holding the hinges to the frame/axle. Replaced hinges with new ones .Put screws back in frame/axle . Put 4 nut and bolts back to secure door to hinges . Then i reinstalled under counter put new wheels on lower rack . I then filled it with dishes and ran a long cycle checked for leaks THEIR WERE NONE!!! THANK GOD !! Job complete, Thanks parts direct for a well designed website and detailed pics and parts#. TIM

After being told by a repairman that it would be cheaper to replace the dishwasher than to fix the handle I found this sight. When the part came in I simply removed 6 screws for the control panel. Once that was off the handle assembly was connected by two screws that required a different tool (allen wrench). I removed those screws unplugged the 4 contacts that connected to the old assembly. Plugged them to the new part and reversed the process with the screws. Works like it is new and I am oh so glad to prove the repairman wrong!!!

First disconnect the power. Open the dishwasher door. Unscrew all of the screws except the top two screws. Unscrew the top two screws last and slide the door off. Unscrew the housing for the control board. Disconnect the wires from the control board(take a picture or mental note where the wires are positioned for reinstalling). Unscrew the control board. Put the new board in and go in reverse order until the job is complete. Good luck.

I JUST FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS . PIECE OF CAKE
